Hey, I'm glad I could help!
> Before I was diagnosed DID/MPD I had the BPD diagnosis for several yearsAnother article I read suggested that most all people with DID automatically fit the requirements for the BPD dx.
> She is definitley impulsive. In fact, come to think about it, she just told me how she had spent a lot of money last month on things she didn't need,
Oh yes...one time I went out and bought a diamond ring. Now, it was no 5 keret Tiffany diamond, but it was out of my price range...I had to return it two days later.
>but I think that's my fault because I'm a bad influence.
I don't think it's your fault she overspends. Since she's impulsive, she'd probably spend the money anyway. I know that when I used to go shopping with my friend, she would say things to me like, "Can you really afford that right now?" But, it hardly ever made a difference to me! Ahh!!
No, I'm not in Europe, kinda wish I were though! Lucky you. I'm in the States, but I'm hoping to qualify for an exchange student program that lets college students study in New Zealand for a year. I really want to visit over there. If you don't mind my asking, what are you doing in Europe? Your screen name makes me think maybe your a ballerina? I studied ballet forever...and then got depressed and quit after 13 years of practice. :( Oh well!
